For the first time ever, we are offering the Thévenet family’s other Morgon bottling. In contrast to their benchmark old-vine cuvée, this one is made from younger vines—fifty to sixty years “young”—from the climats Douby and Les Charmes. Aged entirely in concrete tanks, it features less concentration than the Morgon we’ve come to know, but more than makes up for that in charm. Ça morgonne, they say in the Beaujolais, meaning there are those irresistible aromas of sour cherry, violets, and sweet spices that define Gamay grown within this cru. It feels weightless on the palate, grounded only by a tingly impression of minerals.
